I believe it was a little worse, cus IIRC it was implied he was holding Narcan at the time.

Also, it was his step-son, which brings up the question of whether he would have saved him if it was his actual son.

Luthor also occasionally does the right thing. He's an egomaniac, but ultimately human.

Of course he did, Jeff Bezos is the hugest goddamn nerd. If he has a stupid plastic gun on his bedside table like Musky it's gonna be something like a phaser that Patrick Stewart or Shatner held on set.

He hired Neal Stephenson to write his space company's strategic vision FFS.

I dug this up from another thread, but here's some old-school Elon dipshittery from 2018.


Wikipedia posted:

In June 2018, Elon Musk revealed a potential feature called "SpaceX option package" for the Roadster.[26] This would add around ten cold gas thrusters to the car to improve maneuverability; it would comprise an electric pump to recharge an air tank used to provide compressed air flowing through propelling nozzles to generate a cold jet thrust. The air tanks, based on "composite overwrapped pressure vessel" (COPV) also used in the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, would replace the back seats. The thrusters would be used to improve cornering, acceleration, top speed, and braking.[27][28][29] Working pressure would be 10,000 psi (700 bar).[30]

I understand wanting to DISRUPT but like jesus just spend five minutes talking to someone who knows the industry.

The wheel works damnit. God I was so annoyed loving around with a tesla having to dig through menus and look poo poo up on my phone. We've had cars longer than anyone's been alive; there's a reason people do poo poo the way they do.

I once had to sit through a talk by a former Netflix CEO. Back when they were in the business of mailing out DVDs the first few months were an absolute shitshow. Hundreds of thousands of customers were complaining about discs being broken on arrival, and even more discs were being mailed back broken.

It turned out that nobody at Netflix bothered to find out how the USPS sorts massive amounts of mail each day. The equipment that envelopes pass through works well for paper documents but mangles plastic discs.

They had to scrap all their mailing inventory and redo it because nobody thought to put "DO NOT BEND" on the packaging.
